Shine + Color: Lip Gloss Under $10

I dragged my 13-year-old niece to Walgreen's this afternoon for some more drugstore makeup research. This trip's product: Colored lip gloss (the kind that comes in a tube with an applicator wand). We were specifically looking for high shine.

We picked up two of my favorites for her, which are extremely shiny, not at all sticky, and have a lovely smooth feel:

--Cover Girl WetSlicks
--Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds Liquid - she got this in clear, which looks great on top of any other color.

I decided to check out Rimmel's gloss selection and came home with two definite hits.

--Rimmel Vinyl Lip (in Disco Diva, of course - how could you NOT buy that color?): Extremely smooth, almost like a lip balm. Color looks intense in the tube but goes on relatively sheer.
--Rimmel Volume Boost: This is one with micro-collagen or something. It has a pleasant cool tingle (not a sting like Lip Venom) but I didn't really notice much plumping. The applicator is a little brush instead of the usual soft spongy thing.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone -- and keep those lips glossy, ladies! :)
